This week on XBLA in Brief, we take Dash of Destruction for a spin. As you've no doubt heard by now, Dash of Destruction is available for free on Xbox Live Arcade. The reason: it's a sponsored game that was primarily created to help sell Doritos. No seriously, you can see the word Doritos right there on the title screen. So, how does Dash of Destruction stack up to that other free advertising game on XBLA? Watch the latest episode to find out.

That made me laugh at the end of the video. I wish i could "unearn" some cheevos gained. Such as Yaris, DoAX, the Kameo one that's worth 0 points, so i have a total of 0 in the game, yet can't remove it.
i actually believe this game will be good since the developers have a good pedigree(i've all the games they have released on XBLA) and they are probably the best XBLA developers in terms of quality and actually getting your moneys worth.
I got a good 30 minutes of enjoyment out of this...but I agree with Jonman, I'm not probably gonna play this much more in the future. Heck you can't argue with free ya' know!
It cost me the time to find it in the dash and click download. It cost me network bandwidth during the minute it took to download. An it cost me my time as I struggled to play it solely for the achievements. And I wish I never had.
Get a second controller, and make an offline account (if you don't already have one)
Start a mulltiplayer game of Dash of Destruction. Push start on controller two. Play Zen, and set deliveries to 2 or 3 (reason being, the AI that starts as the delivery truck on in less than a second with delivery set to 1).
Leave the 2nd controller where it is. Grab your controller. Eat the AI delivery truck. Then, the game will reset with you as the truck. Make deliveries. Unlock achievement.
